- The Cross correlation is a DI in the time domain, which is describe the degree of correlation between the normalized baseline signal and the monitoring signal;
- The Spatial phase difference is also a DI in the time domain that describes the size of the angle between the normalized baseline signal and the monitoring signal;
- The Spectrum loss is a DI in the frequency domain, which describes the difference value in spectrum between two signals;
- The Central spectrum loss is also a DI in the frequency domain, which measures the change of central spectrum between baseline and monitoring signal;
- The Differential curve energy is a DI that measured the variation of waveform curve of the difference of two signal;
- The Normalized Correlation Moment is a DI that based on local statistical features of the waveform; the energy and phase change of the signal has been taken into consideration;
- The differential signal energy is a DI that measured the variation of signal energy.
